ひとしれぬなみだやそらにくもりつつあきのしぐれとふりまさるらむ[1]

hito shirenu namida ya sora ni kumoritsutsu aki no shigure to furimasaruramu

Unknown to all With tears the skies Are ever clouded; The autumn drizzle Seems to fall the harder.

あきくれば山とよむまでなくしかに我おとらめやひとりぬるよは

aki kureba yama toyomu made naku shika ni ware otorame ya hitori nuru yo wa

When the autumn comes The mountains echo with The belling stags; Will they lose to me These nights I sleep alone?
